These Reuben Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, featuring tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and a zesty Thousand Island dressing, all sandwiched between sweet King’s Hawaiian rolls. Perfect as a party appetizer or a comforting quick meal, they are baked to golden perfection with a buttery, garlicky topping sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Sliders

  • 12 King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
  • 8 oz deli sliced corned beef, or leftover cooked corned beef
  • 1-2 cups Thousand Island or Russian dressing
  • 8 oz sauerkraut, drained with excess moisture squeezed out
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese

Topping

  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom halves in an oven-safe tray, creating the base layer.
  3. Layer with dressing, corned beef, and cheese: Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island or Russian dressing on the bottom rolls, then evenly top with the sliced corned beef and six slices of Swiss cheese.
  4. Add sauerkraut and more dressing: Spread the drained sauerkraut over the cheese, add another layer of dressing on top, and then place the remaining six slices of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut.
  5. Close the sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the stacked ingredients to form the complete sliders.
  6. Prepare the butter mixture: Melt the salted butter and whisk in the garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  7. Brush topping on rolls: Liberally brush the tops of the slider rolls with the garlic butter mixture to ensure a flavorful crust.
  8. Add seasoning and cover: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the buttered tops, then cover the entire tray with foil to keep moisture in during baking.
  9. Bake the sliders: Place the covered tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing based on your preference for moisture and flavor.
  • Ensure the sauerkraut is well drained to prevent soggy sliders.
  • Use foil to cover the sliders while baking to keep them moist and to help melt the cheese evenly.
  • For an extra crunch, remove the foil in the last 5 minutes and allow the tops to crisp slightly.
  • Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated covered to maintain moisture.
